5. International transfers
Where any sub-processor is based outside the UK or transfers data outside the UK, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or an adequacy decision, as appropriate.

We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concern before you approach the ICO.
9. Security
We follow appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect your data — UK data residency for marketing-site enquiries, encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), multi-factor authentication on every human account with access to the data, and a documented incident-response process.
